--- Begin Message ---Package: flexbackup Version: 1.2.1-5 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch I would like to be able to exclude certain directories from flexbackup's backup process, without having to edit the configuration file. In particular, I want my users to be able to specify directories that should not be backed up (such as project build directories and the like) without administrative intervention. I have implemented one means of doing this, by way of including a .nobackup file in the directory to exclude. A patch is pasted in below. Note that it does not work on remote filesystems because I do not use them. Note also that it takes an additional short period of time to execute because it uses a separate find(1) call to locate files named .nobackup. I hope that this is useful. *** /usr/bin/flexbackup 2006-09-23 17:09:52.000000000 -0400 --- /usr/local/bin/flexbackup 2007-05-23 21:43:11.000000000 -0400 *************** *** 4863,4868 **** --- 4863,4876 ---- $prunekey = $dir; } + my @nobackup = (); + if (!defined($remote)) { # TODO: allow this on remote filesystems + @nobackup = split(/\n/, `cd $dir && $cmd -name .nobackup | sed -e 's/^\\.\\/\\(.*\\)\\/\\.nobackup\$/\\1/'`); + for my $nobackup (@nobackup) { + $::prune{$prunekey}{$nobackup} = 1; + } + } + if (defined(%{$::prune{$prunekey}})) { # FreeBSD needs -E (above) and no backslashes around the (|) # chars if ($::uname =~ /FreeBSD/) { -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.20 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages flexbackup depends on: ii cpio 2.6-17 GNU cpio -- a program to manage ar ii perl 5.8.8-7 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction Versions of packages flexbackup recommends: ii afio 2.5-4 archive file manipulation program ii binutils 2.17-3 The GNU assembler, linker and bina pn buffer <none> (no description available) ii rsync 2.6.9-2 fast remote file copy program (lik ii sharutils 1:4.2.1-15 shar, unshar, uuencode, uudecode ii zip 2.32-1 Archiver for .zip files -- no debconf information
